“MOMMY, YOU SHOULD SEE A THERAPIST”

This was from my daughter, Julie, yesterday driving home from work together. We have pretty much sold out of cars, including my fav from God, a white Audi Q5, and so I had to get a ride home with her. But, God used that ride together for good. I got home, and I was so …

WE HAVE A SWEET THING WITH GOD!

“THANK YOU FOR THE STRENGTH THAT IT TOOK TO GET US HERE”That was the beautiful prayer my daughter, Julie, said before we left her sister, Ember, to spend her first night at college. To God be the glory, guys! Let me tell you; it took superhuman strength to get her there. I think back to …

“SORRY, YOU HAVE SUCH A RATCHET (UNPOLISHED, UNREFINED, ROUGH, GHETTO) MOM!”

That was me to my son, Joshie, as we worked together to change the sheets on his bed. He incredibly responded, “You’re still the best mom in the world.” I told him thanks for that because I can sometimes be so hard on myself. But at the end of the day, I know, despite my …
